About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like deep dives into artists, counterculture history, and bold animated visuals; Not for you if you want a fast, plot-driven doc or are sensitive to intrusive soundtrack choices like some noted.
Pros: striking animated artwork; in-depth artist insights; funny and touching moments | Cons: divisive music choices; songs overpower interviews; uneven tone at times
